Topic: Uncanny X-Men Coming Back (Read 1837 times)

I couldn't find a thread about this (other than the "leaks"), so I thought I'd make a new one since they just announced the creative team.

Last month at San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel Comics announced that UNCANNY X-MEN would return this fall. Today, the creative team was officially announced as well as an official release date for UNCANNY X-MEN #1 -- Wednesday, November 14. The new ongoing series is jam-packed with X-talent -- all the writers and artists have previously worked on X-Men characters and stories and will be teaming up for more mutant mayhem!UNCANNY X-MEN will launch with a 10-part weekly epic called "Disassembled." Where the series goes from there depends on who is left standing! In this "epic tale of mystery and tragic disappearance," every remaining mutant on the planet will come together in "an adventure so Earth-shattering, it could very well be the X-Men’s FINAL mission!" With stakes this high, it will take an extraordinary team to tell this story.Writers Ed Brisson (EXTERMINATION), Kelly Thompson (MR. AND MRS. X), and Matthew Rosenberg (PHOENIX RESURRECTION, ASTONISHING X-MEN) will join the equally X-perienced artistic team of Mahmud Asrar (X-MEN RED), R.B. Silva (X-MEN BLUE), Yildiray Cinar (WEAPON X), and Pere Perez (ROGUE AND GAMBIT). Leinil Frances Yu will provide artwork for the covers.

Well for at least the first 10 issue event, he is. How much or what happens after that, who knows. But this is awesome nonetheless. I'm usually not about weekly books but I'm willing to pay for this one.

I agree, I think this reshuffles the deck and we get new books with new rosters afterwards. Uncanny will continue as a monthly or bi monthly or whatever.. and I think Astonishing will stick around with Rosenberg possibly writing both as sister titles.

I think KT will stick with Mr and Mrs X (GOD I hate writing that title) and possibly pick up a team x-book while Brisson writes an X-Force type book with Cable. My gut feeling.
